US judge overturns conviction of executed boy

The youngest person to have been executed in the United States in the 20th century, has had his conviction vacated by a judge in South Carolina.

Putin blames "external factors" for Russia's economic crisis

Vladimir Putin says "external factors" are to blame for Russia's ongoing economic crisis.

But during his annual end-of-the-year news conference on Thursday, he insisted Russia will be back on its feet by 2017 at the latest.

With the rouble having dropped dramatically this week, Mr Putin criticised the central bank for not acting sooner to stablize the currency, but says the government and central bank are now responding appropriately. 

Overall, our correspondent in Moscow, Jake Rashbass, says Mr Putin has avoided calling the current situation a "crisis".

EU leaders to discuss Ukraine and Investment plan during final summit

EU leaders are meeting in Brussels for their final summit of the year to discuss the crisis in Ukraine, as well as a new investment plan to spur economic growth in Europe.


Members of the 28-nation bloc are said to have already agreed new sanctions against Crimea, the Ukrainian peninsula annexed by Russia in March.


The measures are set to target areas like telecommunications, oil, gas and mineral exploration and production in the black sea in order to curb Russian aspirations to develop its core energy industry.


EU leaders are also poised to send tough warnings to the Russian government for failing to stop fighting in eastern Ukraine between pro-Russian militants and government forces.


Meanwhile the EU's new 315 billion euro investment plan is still awaiting firm contributions from member countries - an issue on the agenda today, as our correspondent in Brussels Sandra Gathmann explains:
